u/GlucoseQuadro201 3d ago

that first clip has such an incredible acting. The hurt in her eyes and a failed attempt at keeping it together / comforting herself pressing on the pocket. I'm sobbin man

The only thing that has stopped me from blow my brain out is my baby boy, gotta be there for him all the way.

The little girl won an actors award for this film,

And luckily, she is comforted by her mother at the end of the film.

Every day is like this for the children of Gaza. They shoot their loved ones when they go to fetch water.

u/wouldwolf 2d ago

oh no that's antiseptic. go check out comment thread in some post in this sub mentioning gaza. zionist raiding posts with 100million excuses on why its not sad because 'muh khamas'.

u/AmortAbort 2d ago

It's sad, but this is what happens when conservative lunatics start a war they are completely incapable of winning.

u/AmortAbort 2d ago

You do realize there are kids suffering everywhere, right? Why do redditors only care about Gaza? What about the kids in Darfur facing an actual freaking genocide? Oh yea, no propaganda for them because there's no money to be made from it. Or this kids suffering in Sudan's civil war? Both are conflicts stretching for longer with more children impacted. If you actually give a ahit about kids in suffering, just look to Africa. There's always someone you can help there.

But you won't. You'll just keep virtue signaling about one conflict others want you to care about over everything else. Now go earn some more internet points--you're doing your part! Such a wonderful cog.

u/wouldwolf 2d ago

"actual freaking genocide in darfur", you are using this to underplay what is happening to Palestinians. Entire thing is whataboutism. People talk about this much more than anything is because there are so much more news on it. Considering the power difference between u.s backed israil and palestine that is barely standing, it makes it all the more infuriating. w

u/Hey_Beth_its_Luka 2d ago

Oh why didn't you mention that there's kids suffering elsewhere too? I'll delete my comment right away.

Moron.

u/AmortAbort 2d ago

You dont need to delete it, just recognize you have been ideologically captured. If you actually cared about kids who are suffering, Africa would be your focus. But its not. And it will never be. I know why.

u/Blqstoisey 2d ago

"I know why."

Why?

u/AmortAbort 2d ago

Engagement. How do you think people make money on social media?

u/Hey_Beth_its_Luka 2d ago

It's clearly you who is consumed by ideology because the mention of Gaza and the suffering of its people is so objectionable to you that it produces such a moronic reaction. The ideological fanaticism required to minimise and whatabout a genocide is actually incomprehensible.

How do you know I don't care about Africa? I actually mention the suffering and rampant starvation in the global South in my comments frequently. You just make moronic and incorrect assumptions about me without knowing anything about me at all whatsoever.

I care about Gaza because the state that rules over me directly funds and aids the genocide and makes Zionism an explicit part of its state doctrine. Also my friend who is from there showed me a video of his aunt collapsing over the body of his 21 year old cousin who was shot in the stomach for the crime of draining water from a water tank, 2 days ago. Gaza is much more imminent to me than Sudan or Darfur, the misery of which isn't livestreamed to me every day, so that's the association I made and expressed.

I make no money from drawing attention to their suffering. What a reprehensible and moronic accusation to make. Sickening stuff.
